I'm a Fish!
Can someone help me to identify this toad fish? My guess is it's a big eye toadfish but the pattern is not consistent with the few photos I have for reference. I found the first one at Gallows Point several years ago and this one during a night dive with the crew from Hugh Parkey's last week at "The Arena" by Sergeant's Caye. I spotted the light and DM Denroy Usher took the pic with a point and shoot Canon so I do not have the best resolution. Can't paste (or don't know how) so I am attaching it.

In the Florida Caribbean Bahamas reef fish book by Humann and DeLoach, the picture of the Large Eye Toadfish looks like a good match. Color and pattern are the same.
 
Thanx 4 d info Kupu. I'll have to get the revised edition.
